TAURUS

In Vedic Astrology, Taurus is considered as the second zodiac sign among the twelve zodiac signs and this sign is ruled by Venus which is considered as the planet that  represents earthly luxuries and comforts. The last three padas of Krittika Nakshatra, all four padas of Rohini Nakshatra and the first two padas of Mrigasira Nakshatra are ruled by this sign called Taurus. 

Taurus is a fixed earth sign and its lord is Venus. Venus is a feminine watery planet while Sun is a masculine fiery planet. Both are inimical to each other so the placement of Sun in Taurus is not considered positive in Vedic Astrology, especially if it is under malefic influence. Natives born with Sun in Taurus face a lot of difficulties and challenges in life. When it comes to their physique and health, such people suffer from lack of immunity and bodily weakness. They are also vulnerable to diseases related to face or eyes. Water may also pose some risks and dangers to these natives. This position of Sun also gives dissatisfaction from spouse so not favorable for marriage.

How to recognize Taurus?

The men of this type usually have broad shoulders, thick neck and broad forehead. The women have large breasts and as a rule small hands and feet. Both sexes are generous in giving love to the last degree. They consider no sacrifice too great for the person they care for, but if they hate, they will fight with bull headed obstinacy to the death.

As a rule they fight honourably and openly, for this reason they often get worse of it at the commencement, but if their blood is once aroused they do not know what surrender means. They are peculiarly sensitive to their surroundings and often becomes morbid and melancholy when forced to live under poor or unfavourable conditions.

Neither the men nor the women in this Sign should marry early; their first love affair or marriage is generally a mistake, but as a rule they develop early and marry early.

Both sexes are inclined to be jealous in their affections and their jealousy drives them into unreasoning acts or violent fits of temper, which they bitterly regret when the passion is over.

They forgive at the slightest show of feeling or kindness and this side of their nature makes them do all kinds of things that the world call stupid. As leaders in any cause they inspire love and devotion and often have great responsibility forced upon them.

They have an innate sense of harmony, rhythm and colour and often succeed well in music, poetry and art, but curiously enough they usually lack the “money sense” to make the most of their qualities or talents, except those born on certain dates.

Those born in this Sign make the most faithful, loyal friends, also excellent public servants, officials or heads in government positions, or in the Army and Navy. They also make good patient nurses, healers and almost all have a keen love of gardening, flowers and outdoor life.
